📜 A Bit of History

This style of cake is inspired by modern healthy baking trends and traditional fruit-based desserts where natural sugars from fruits replace refined sugar. Apples have been used in baking for centuries because of their moisture, sweetness, and binding ability—making them perfect for lighter, flourless-style cakes.

🧪 Formation & Texture Science

  • Apples → provide natural sweetness + moisture
  • Eggs → structure and fluffiness
  • Cocoa → rich flavor without sugar
  • Baking powder → lightness and rise

The result? A soft, slightly fudgy cake with a naturally sweet chocolate taste.
